About this ebook
Global Health Crisis examines the escalating threat of antibiotic resistance, a pressing issue in public health and infectious diseases. The book presents an in-depth analysis of how common infections are becoming increasingly difficult, and sometimes impossible, to treat. This is driven by factors like antibiotic overuse and the evolution of resistant bacteria. A key insight is the rapid spread of resistance genes facilitated by international travel and agricultural practices. The book uniquely emphasizes a 'One Health' approach, recognizing the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health.
The book progresses from exploring the biological mechanisms of resistance, such as genetic mutations, to mapping the global spread and surveillance of resistant organisms. It also scrutinizes the socio-economic and policy factors influencing antibiotic use in different countries. By drawing on scientific literature, epidemiological data, and policy documents, the book offers a comprehensive overview of this complex problem.
Ultimately, Global Health Crisis advocates for coordinated global strategies involving scientific innovation, policy interventions, and behavioral change to mitigate the devastating effects of antimicrobial resistance.
